        <p>
          <span class="application">Autoconf2.13</span> is an old version of
          <span class="application">Autoconf</span> . This old version
          accepts switches which are not valid in more recent versions. Now
          that <span class="application">firefox</span> has started to use
          <span class="application">python2</span> for configuring, this old
          version is required even if configure files have not been changed.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.

        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class=

          that the installed programs have the version added to their names,
          so that only a script which specifically looks for these old

        </p>
        <p>
          <span class="command"><strong>install -v -m644 ...</strong></span>:
          the patch removes install-info from the Makefile because that would
          install (and if necessary recreate) standards.info which is an old
          version, so now <code class="filename">autoconf213.info</code> has
          to be manually installed.
